The Wellington Phoenix's A-League resumption has been given the date of July 17 against Sydney FC, as the side wait to hear if they'll even be allowed to enter Australia.
The Football Federation of Australia have announced the first round of fixtures for the season resumption, with the Phoenix taking on top of the table Sydney FC at Jubilee Stadium in just over a month.
The Wellington side trained this morning despite an A-League agreement that teams not train until June 17.
The Kiwi side currently sit third on the A-Leauge ladder.
However, the Phoenix are none the wiser to their ability to travel, with a decision expected later today. That saw club general manager David Dome yesterday vent his frustration with the current circumstances.
"Extremely disappointing we can't get the team into Australia to start training," he tweeted.
"We're making more of a sacrifice than any other team in the A-League and we're getting blocked - we won't have the same training window as every other club."
